Meanings of elements

CLUSTER OR GROUPING OF SIMILAR TYPES, MEMBER'S CIRCLE OF A SPECIFIC GROUP and HEAD DECLINING, DAMMED FLOW
…or: much GONORRHEA

A group of members dying one by one, with the tribe becoming DEPLETED, DWINDLING, with ranks EXCESSIVELY THIN. Alternatively, if the same woody head spills its seeds a few times in succession, the output will become EXCESSIVELY THIN (not dense, not concentrated, sparse, not viscous, watery, lacking substance) as the RESERVE DWINDLES and stored supply is DEPLETED.
Troop levels during wartime are DEPLETED, DWINDLED by gonorrhea and other infections:
「Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) have been a longstanding problem in the United States military. Prior to the discovery of antibiotics, these infections were a significant cause of morbidity and mortality, with a significant toll on operational readiness. In fact, before the invention of modern weaponry, venereal disease was more commonly lethal than combat duty. During World War I, STIs were only second to influenza in disabling troops from performing their duties, with 7 million person days lost to STIs in the US army. In recent decades, the influence of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), increased numbers of deployed personnel and enhanced tools for STI screening and diagnosis have necessitated ongoing attention to the burden of STIs.」

Unihan extended: excessively thin

Always keep in mind that these glyphs most likely were originally designed by groups of clever old men as vulgar riddles for their own entertainment (see 籒 for that), representing Chinese society many thousands of years ago, but intended NOT as a written or spoken language when created. If these glyphs had been intended for language use, the sages could not have possibly designed a worse system! Is it truly possible that all these glyphs started out as off-color jokes and puzzles? Yes! It is, and often with multiple correct answers to each riddle, the same as is true today. Sex had no shame in ancient China. Why would it? But, have there been necessary rewrites and altered explanations of the original elemental meanings over the centuries?

No one is suggesting these glyphs depict contemporary life in China, Japan, or anywhere else. This site describes glyph meanings, not people. These glyphs however, describe many and various things, including people, long before there were any notions of becoming politically incorrect. The question to be answered is, should these glyphs continue being used, by anyone, anywhere, for expressing language? (More...) Despite how seemingly bad our human existence is today, do you actually believe that the so-called good old days were any better? Or could they have been worse?

By the way, with a limited number of the same elements used by the sages again and again to form these glyphs, you should expect to find the same explanations again and again, as tedious as that may become, and as an inherent trait of any lexicon. This site explains multiple meanings of glyphs ignored or censored by other sources, generally as being too embarrassing to admit today.
